Cathy\u2019s family has lived in Marlborough for five generations, but Allan was new to the area. He took a job with Montana working in their new vineyards. In 1980 he was head-hunted by Corbans and oversaw the establishment of their Marlborough vineyards. He became their senior Viticultural Manager, with responsibility for the company\u2019s entire national grape intake, and part of the winemaking team.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>His experience soon led to the establishment of his own business &#8211; Allan Scott Family Winemakers. Contract grape growing and a busy viticultural consultancy were the early foundation of the company, with Allan being instrumental in the development of many of the region\u2019s vineyards along with localised vineyard husbandry techniques.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>In June 2011 Allan was awarded a Queen\u2019s Birthday honour for services to the New Zealand wine industry. Today the business is till at the forefront of quality Marlborough wines, and the business is now managed by Allan\u2019s children Josh and Sara. Future planning, research and development and staff empowerment are core values they are instilling that will ensure the next generations of wine lovers, love Allan Scott Family wines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bea01d1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bea01d1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-89215fb\" data-id=\"89215fb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8c0a17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8c0a17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Josh has been around the wine business all his life.
